The seat (body), the doer, the various senses, the different functions of various sorts, and the presiding deity, also, the fifth.

The seat of action, the doer, the various instruments, the many and distinct kinds of effort, and the divine, the fifth among them.

Krishna lists the five factors of every action. First is the adhiṣṭhāna, the seat or basis, usually taken as the body. Then comes the doer, the various instruments such as the senses and mind, the many different kinds of effort or movement, and finally daiva, the divine or unseen factor, sometimes understood as providence or the presiding powers. The list shows that any action is a meeting of many conditions. No single agent controls all of them.
